The point was to "send a message." The message was "j/k."

The message was, "Don't forget, we can send an enormous amount of ordinance incredibly precisely. We chose not to completely obliterate you today, but this is your last chance."

    Check with anyone in the military. You will never strike an airstrip and not disable the runway. It is a cheap and easy way to fix in place all undamaged aircraft while ground crews scramble to repair the damages.

    It is easily repaired and one of the simplest ways to damage air capability.

    Can anyone enlighten me as to the purpose of this interesting lights show?

    This kinda reads like two people arguing with each other. I can't tell if you're saying it's an effective operation, or a pointless way to cause damage because it will all just be easily repaired.

    It fixes the aircraft in place giving you valuable time to gain air superiority while they are still getting off of the ground.

    Minutes could matter, but it would likely be a difference of hours.

    [–]LanikMan07 34 ポイント35 ポイント  (3子コメント)

    Right, but this wasn't a battle for air superiority. We set out to break their toys, and that was accomplished. Replacing those planes will be far costlier and take far more time than fixing an airstrip.

      /u/q6BhZxfJ posted this earlier and clearly it needs to be shared more.

      "First and foremost, you don't crater runways with cruise missiles. There are munitions specifically designed and used to destroy runways, and they are extremely different in anatomy and operation from Tomahawk missiles. Second, but arguably a more explicit reason to not bomb the runway, the Su-22's targeted in the strike were designed with the capability to take off and land from dirt runways, the likes of which can be bulldozed in mere hours. The real blunder would have been to crater the runway only to have a dirt strip get cleared a few meters to the side of the paved one. Millions of dollars in munitions spent to destroy a runway, undone with $1000 of diesel fuel and a few hours of work. Talk about embarrassing."

      Can we all please stop talking completely out of our fucking asses? Read about what you want to talk about before just talking and hoping some shit sticks.

      The planes that resumed bombing runs? Or the other planes?

      [–]AllGoodNamesRTaken 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

      The planes that were destroyed by cruise missiles. The point of the strike wasn't to disable the airfield but to send a message that if chemical weapons are used, there will be a response. If they wanted to destroy everything, they wouldn't have used a weapon with a 450kg warhead.

            Didn't they take out weapon storage facilities, hangers, and dozens of aircraft? People seem to be ignoring that, but that's what I've read about the attacks.

            Well apparently it was, because they just upped and bombed the same civilians who got hit by the chemical weapons soon after. It's like it did nothing but provoke them.

            [–]cplusequals 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (0子コメント)

            They've been bombing for literally years, we didn't provoke them. We didn't strike the airbase to stop them from bombing people. We struck to prevent the use of chemical weapons. Did we destroy a lot of shit? Yes. Did we completely remove their ability to fly aircraft? No. Are they going to worry about American retaliation for a future gas attack? You bet they will. Would they have worried about American retaliation for a future gas attack if we did nothing? You bet they wouldn't.

              No, that the aircraft were broken and couldn't be moved. I fully believe that we would have the sense to let Russia know that we're about to have military action in an area that they're present in so we don't spark an international incident.

              What? We took out a good number of their planes? Do you know how much those cost compared to fixing a run way or just simply moving planes elsewhere?

              Are you being serious or are you fucking around because I honestly can't tell.

              Because we never get to use our shiny toys. Also if we can throw away 60 missiles to "send a message" then imagine what we could do if we got really upset.

              [–]Drewbdu 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

              That's exactly the point. They did destroy everything but the runway and the chemical weapons, but this strike shows that the US has the resources to fire 90 million dollars worth of missiles anywhere in Syria within a few hours. Russia doesn't have anywhere close to that material advantage. The US spends the equivalent of 40.8% of Russia's GDP on the military every year. This shows Assad that the US can do whatever they want, with or without Russia supporting the regime.

                    Exactly. It's supposed to create the image of a beef between Trump and Putin, so that Trump can relax sanctions on Russia as part of Trump's 'Real Great Deal' to deescalate 'tensions' and get Putin to really-for-sure-this-time make Assad hand over all the chemical weapons.

                      Why not take out the runway as well? Trump's reasoning that it's easy to fix doesn't hold water IMO. 59 tomahawk missiles launched. Hit the runway too.

                      Destroying a runway is for when you only want a few hours of a window, mostly for infantry operations.

                      America doesn't do that though because instead of destroying a runway we destroy the entire Air Force, we don't compete in the skies it's against our military doctrine.

                      Because a runaway is basically a long strip of somewhat flat land, taking that out means putting a lot of craters in it (so you need tons of explosives) and then the enemy just makes another flat strip a few meters to the side.

                      Taking out planes or ammunitions requires a lot less explosive and they are harder to replace

                      [–]Awhite2555 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (3子コメント)

                      It's a fair point. But it seems weird to get into the scale of how easy/hard things can be repaired. Most things can be repaired, but they still bomb them.

                      Whether or not it's sound military strategy or not, when news broke planes were taking off again, it was embarrassing in a way for USA. You bomb the hell out of it and it's still usable? Again not saying that's fair, but public perception often isn't fair.

                      While public perception is important (see 'Nam) I don't think it's a Litmus test for a military operation. Even then, one could make the argument that one unpopular choice made early can avoid many unpopular choices down the road, and that one unpopular choice made at this time will be mostly forgotten by the time elections come

                      The air strip is absolutely irrelevant. Those plans are designed to be able to take off from dirt, uneven, makeshift runways. disabling the airstrip itself is absolutely meaningless when the planes dont really need it.

                      You are over estimating tomahawk missiles ability to actually destroy run ways. They are designed to be very precise so their explosive radius would not be effective for things such as destroying runways but are very effective at pin pointing items to destroy.

                      The total cost was around $70million to us and they destroyed 20 SU 22s. They cost 20-30 million to replace. This was a definite net win in terms of cost as well as in stunting their airforce. Sure the US can easily get 20 military aircraft, can Assad?

                      Edit: someone already mentioned this. I now look like a complete douche.

                      Most planes can take off from dirt runways so destroying the concrete runway is useless. Destroying the ammunition, planes, and base will not only cost more but delay them weeks if not months instead of a couple of hours.

                          The missile strike was intended to destroy supplies and send a message, not to cause crippling damage or to completely wipe out the airfield. As long as there are runways you can still fly planes from that airfield.

                            Gotta keep in mind that a large % of conservatives will never give any liberal a single thing, everything he does will be spun into a negative.

                            I'd totally agree if I wasnt a liberal to conservative convert over observing how they treat each other over the past 8 months(if you're one of those profile stalker creeps, you can go back 2 years and see). Liberals have no chill, its constant screeching about whatever they construe as a slight against them.

                              There was an open military channel for US and Russian forces for joint strike missions agasint ISIS. The channel closed after the bombing of the base, but meetings are still scheduled.

                              Except that he didn't let Putin know anything. When they say that Russians were notified, they mean that a deconfliction notice was sent to Russian forces on the base before the attack began, the reason was to minimize casualties while still being able to destroy vital equipment, and the chemical weapons stored there.

                              You should at least know what you're talking about before you go around spewing bullshit.

                              Quit spreading nonsensical shit. He let Putin know because the aim wasn't to kill people. The strike was just to send a message. I mean they were the ones who broke the agreement signed by Russia, US, and Assad to not use chemical weapons. Assad broke it there was retaliation and i think there needs to be even more.

Here's a CNN article with sliding before/after pics.Tomahawk missiles aren't designed to destroy things like a bomb would, it would be a waste of munitions to target the runway. The planes used are also Russian designs (SU-22) and can take off from dirt runways, making irrelevant any of the damage down to the runway itself.

                                Other political leaders lie occasionally. Get caught have fall out. Trump lies endlessly. Uses the next lie to take attention from the last. He's the same, but still the worst. Like a new low, in a long decline. I think he's worse than Nixon. We will see.

                                That's not even a complete list, but they're all leaders who have done far worse than anything Trump has done or said he would do, whether you think his statements are falsified or not. I'm sorry Hillary fucked over Bernie Sanders or whatever has you so pissy about Trump, but that doesn't mean you should blame him for everything that's wrong with your little world. If you're an American such as I am, you should at least be hopeful that he does the best job he can and not fail since you do live here too.

                                So I'll say it again, just because you don't like Trump doesn't make him special.

                                Trump will be the worst President in my lifetime, and I'm including Nixon in that list. At least Nixon was smart and competent before he went crazy. Trump started off dumb and crazy, and the gaggle of chucklefucks he calls his 'best people' sure as shit aren't helping.

                                        It is technically a violation of the War Powers Act, but the legitimacy of said act is shaky at best. If Congress had voted on the Syria attack, they would almost certainty have voted in Trump's favor.

                                        How is it a violation? He is the commander and chief. The end all be all. Alpha and omega. He doesn't need approval unless he goes for full scale bombing runs or an invasion, something of that scale. 1 military strike can be done simply and effectively without Congress, who cannot even get a majority to agree that grass is green.

                                        That's the argument against the War Powers Act. Many view it as unconstitutional, and they are probably right. The fact of the matter is that the current state of the law "requires" the President to gain Congressional approval for any military action. Note that it is loosely enforced, as nearly every President since its passage has ignored it when it was convenient to do so.

                                            I was so busy reading the "ground breaking" political discussion that I forgot I was in r/dankmemes. It's still more factual than most of the shit you'll read in r/politics, which is pretty sad.

                                            The only people left in /r/politics are shills.

                                            Most rational people knew that sub was lost in the lead-up to the election. And anyone who is still there has their head so far up their ass they might as well just be outright shills.

                                            Just look at the top posts there right now.

                                            Donald Trump has no strategy, no beliefs, and no principles

                                            People think Trump's airstrikes in Syria are a distraction tactic

                                            They are less biased than enoughtrumpspam at this point.

                                            Literally ANYWHERE has more factual political discussion than that shithole now.

                                            I miss notreddit.top, when you could see the shilling in action. The top post was ALWAYS a pro-trump story posted in /r/politics. Every time.

                                            r/politics is full of shills, says the person who posts in the_dumbass.

                                                I don't think anyone is realizing that the air strike was an act between Russia and USA to please some countries paying billions to the USA to interfere in Syria and fight Asad's regime.. This air strike also gives an excuse to Russia to reinforce and bring more weapons into Syria.

                                                  ok forgive my ignorance... ok so the person who is in charge of Syria right now- i think a dictator- gased his own people? ok got it- then america bombed them to send a message "he dont gas people!" -ok got it! But my question is, where do the russians fit into this? I heard the US warned them before bombing- doesnt this mean that the Russians are in cahoots with..... err... the bad guys? doesnt that make them the bad guys by extension?
